Baron Wendell has been a happy event lately, after his eldest son Eve's successful proposal to Miss Josephine, Lord Earl Abel sent him a letter of appointment, appointing him as the military governor of the Duchy of Mason, and his other son, Arrod of Mecklenburgshire, is said to be appointed as the court minister, which means that in the court of the Duchy of Mason, there are two important ministers from the Wendell family, and many well-informed nobles understand that this is a manifestation of the rise of the Wendell family.

"Lord Baron Valker, have you heard?" In the court of the Duchy of Mason, between the columns and the cloisters, the nobles who mingled in the court often exchanged words when they met, and they often had only one topic to talk about lately.

"Zhiludao, you're talking about the newly appointed Baron Wendell and his son."

"That's right, how can the position of two important ministers be placed on the head of an unknown father and son, I really don't know what Lord Count Abel is thinking?"

"Hmph, nouveau riche, do you think you can do whatever you want by robbing the infidels of their land?"

"yes, what about us nobles who have served the Duke's family for generations?"

"What are the two noble lords talking about?" While the two noble courtiers were whispering, a man's voice came from behind them, and they hurriedly separated themselves before turning around, and when they saw the man standing behind them, they hurriedly bowed to him with a respectful attitude.

"Oh, it's the honorable Count Lautzitz." A big smile bloomed on Baron Valk's face, and he greeted Count Lauzitz, who was dressed in a woolen gold thread robe in front of him. The influence of the duke's nephew in this court can be described as enormous.

"Lord Baron Valker, I heard that the position of the original palace minister Lord Duke belongs to you." Count Lauzitz, who always had an arrogant look, said to the baron this time in a rare and kind tone.

"This~~~." Baron Valk's face was a little embarrassed, he had to bow his head and remain silent, as the most senior nobleman among the duke's courtiers, when the previous court minister fell off his horse while hunting and died, almost everyone thought that it would be Baron Valker who would succeed him, but what he didn't expect was that he appointed the young Arold as the palace minister, which made Baron Valk, who had already hosted a banquet at his home to celebrate with his friends, a laughing stock for a while, and now he was exposed by Count Lauzitz in public.

"Tsk. As a Baron Valker with a noble bloodline, he was not even reused. I really don't know what happened to the Duke of Ludao? Count Lauzitz shook his head with a look of regret, and did not continue to talk to Baron Valc, but left the two of them and walked straight to the hall of the lords, followed by his attendants and courtiers.

"Lord Earl. You debunked Baron Walker to your face. made him lose face very much. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to unite the nobles against the Wendell family. A monk with a red birthmark on his face who followed behind Count Lauzzi said that it was Brother Robert, the former abbot of the Abbey of St. Fonso, who had fled to Count Lauzitz since he had been defeated by Arrod. became a staff officer and courtier.

"This timid creature is left untouched, and his anger will soon be seduced by Arold's arrival, and although Baron Valk is a mediocre man, his son Sir Andrew is not to be trifled with, but will certainly have a good show to watch later." Count Lauzitz knew the nobles of Duke Mason's court inside out, and he knew how to expose the ugliness of human nature and use it to his best use.

"Oh, Sir Andrew? Which champion knight has just joined the knights' convention from the Duchy of Burgundy? Listening to the words of Count Lautz, Brother Robert suddenly realized that it seemed that Count Lausitz was preparing to use the hand of Sir Andruu against Arold.

"That's right, that's a knight whose reputation is more important than life, and he's rough and aggressive, even if the Duke's words don't suit his wishes, he dares to speak out, I've helped him a few times, and I can be regarded as having some friendship." Count Lauzitz walked to the entrance of the hall, and it was the time for the Duke's family to dine, and only the closest important ministers had this honor, and had lunch with the Duke.

"That's great, with the help of a champion knight, we can deal with the Wendell family with much more certainty." Brother Robert smiled slightly, the birthmark on his face twisted, the humiliation inflicted on him by the Wendell family making it unforgettable.

"The Wendell family is not our main target, and getting ready for that is what I expected." Count Lautzitz whispered to Brother Robert before stepping into the hall.

"Gotta, gotta, gotta ~~~." On the streets of Mason Castle, several knights in civilian clothes rode horses in the streets as if no one was around, and many people avoided under the rampage, and the civilians on the narrow road suddenly became chaotic, looking at the embarrassed civilians, the knights on the horses let out a smug laugh.

"For the sake of the Virgin, where is this knight, how can he be so rude." Looking at the knights passing by on horseback, several merchants with their bodies against the door of the house next to the street, they looked at the backs of the knights who rode their horses and galloped, and said angrily.

"Don't say it, I just saw the coat of arms on the head knight, and it seems to belong to Baron Valker." One of the companions craned his neck, looked at the knights who had gone away, and said to the others.

"Baron Valk? It was a very peaceful old nobleman, why was his knight so reckless? The other merchants asked puzzled, as members of the local merchants' guilds, they often dealt with people from all walks of life, and even the nobles sometimes had economic dealings with them, so they were familiar with the coats of arms of the nobles.

"Don't you know the way? The eldest son of Baron Valc, who had just returned from the Duchy of Burgundy, Sir Andrew, had heard that he had won the championship of the knightly jousting tournament of the Duchy of Burgundy, and was already a champion knight, and had come back this time to attend Princess Josie's engagement ceremony. ”

"Her Royal Highness's engagement ceremony?"

"That's right, Sir Andrew has admired Her Royal Highness Princess Josie since he was a child, and this time he heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess was going to be engaged to an unknown nobleman, so he hurried back, probably to see who was worthy of the noble and beautiful Princess Josie."

"Oh, hehe, isn't this a good show." The other merchants laughed, and the affairs of the court, as well as the jealousy of the nobles, were excellent topics for the commoners to talk about.

"But isn't the one who is betrothed to Her Royal Highness Princess Josie the Earl of Arjord, who has just conquered Mecklenburgshire?"

"That's right, a new vassal who rose to prominence through the conquest of the infidels, and a knight who became famous among the principalities, and who would gather in Mason Castle for the favor of a princess, could be made into a bard's lyrics." The merchants walked towards the bazaar as they talked, and outside the castle walls was the town formed by the gathering of the common people, the bazaar was the most economically prosperous building under the castle, and all kinds of daily necessities for the common people could be found here, and local merchants and merchants who transported goods from other places gathered here, and the market was particularly lively today.

"Is something wrong? Why do people come together? The merchant, who had almost been struck by Sir Andrew, saw several pack wagons outside the bazaar, and many of them gathered around the wagons for a long time and refused to disperse.

"It's Baron Wendell's family in Fort Lida's who are shopping for goods, and lo and behold, they've bought a lot of things, so we're here to see if the Wendell family can buy some of our goods." The merchants, of course, were for profit, and they were desperately selling all kinds of goods to Madame Andrea, who was in charge of purchasing, but the housekeeper was a very shrewd woman, and she knew what to buy and what not to buy, and it was the right thing to do to leave the task of purchasing to her.

"Excuse me, ma'am, why did Baron Wendell buy so many things?" As Lady Andrea had finished buying the items she needed and was loading her car to return to Fort Lida, a businessman from the local chamber of commerce asked her curiously.

"That's because Baron Wendell's eldest son, Sir Eve, will marry Miss Josephine, so the Baron has ordered me to buy the items for the wedding banquet." Lady Andrea wore a long dress and a blouse sewn in wolf skin, and her nose was a little red from the cold weather, but her fair skin and delicate countenance did not detract from her beauty.

"Is it a wedding party? I see. The merchant understood, but his eyes rolled, and he said to Lady Andrea, "Have you invited jugglers and bards?" ”

"Well, not yet, do you have any suggestions?" Lady Andrea paused, this matter was not arranged, she glanced at the merchant who had taken the initiative to post it, and asked.

"Hehe, that's right, I know some wandering artists, the prices are reasonable, and there will be some music and juggling in the banquet It will definitely be very lively." A smile immediately hung on the merchant's face, his chin twitched, and he bent over and rubbed his hands.

"Well, you bring those artists to Fort Lida, and if Baron Wendell is satisfied, they can get food and pay." Madame Andrea knew that the artists often had some contact with the local merchants, who needed to put on a show for the nobles, and if they were paid well, they would give a share to the merchants, and the artists could not only get money, but also be able to eat a full meal during the wandering journey.
